Separation does not happen organically. Rich people and governments are in charge of city planning and they make wrong decisions based on making profits.

In city where I live some rich dude contributed to our city governor’s campaign or something. Now governor has to “return the favor” by relocating thousands of government employees from downtown area which is close to a lot of people’s homes to outskirts of the city where nobody lives and where that rich dude owns office space for rent.

> For such small string, any statistical compression won't have a smaller size.

You can hardcode expected frequencies and throw arithmetic encoding at it and the average size will probably drop a meaningful amount.

And I can't easily find an example corpus, but the description of these strings sounds like they'd often have repetition, so another symbol to encode repetition and make this into a normal compression algorithm is probably worth it.

I wonder how many of these string start with org.apache

Well, that is usually refering to some form of "simulated fluid motion", not new characters appearing and disappearing. The only case where that kinda fluid motion would matter is when you have text scrolling by at semi-fast speeds.

To me it feels more like an "essay" in the older, more literal sense of simply exploring an idea. I think he's just kind of ruminating around the model of "what survives is good but not everything good survives."

He ends up bringing it around to the purpose and responsibility of criticism in light of this, which he finds is to elevate the good but not necessarily push down the bad. I think this is his biggest concern here? He doesn't make a big deal about it so it's easy to miss, or I might be wrong.

Not everything, depends on the system. On the NES, for example, you can only mess around with RAM if you find ACE, but if the cartridge is using CHR ROM, whatever you create with ACE must still use the only tileset available to the game. You can get creative drawing graphics with a fixed set of tiles, but you'll be constrained nonetheless.

There may be other constraints for other systems. I don't know the SNES architecture too well, but I assume even with ACE you're still limited in various ways to the constraints of the cartridges.
I'd like to give praise for the "Target User Group" section on the homepage.

Not only does it say what users the app is for, but also who it is NOT for. I think this kind of information is invaluable in deciding whether or not to use or suggest an app.

I can understand if app developers want EVERYBODY to user their app (whether or not its the best for the job) or if the app developer just doesn't want to take the time to write out who the app is NOT for. But I will praise those who do include that information.

Exactly! And it doesn't even have to be a fallback. The same company could have won (or "won" if you know what I mean) many/majority of those tenders and are intentionally spread thin. Because once you win it, you leave a token crew there, and move to win another one, leave token crew again and again. So they're just doing everything all at once very slowly while being paid a lot.

Also this doesn't even have to be a public works type of job. They do this kind of stuff for private works like house construction. 30 people show up and start working, and after couple of days you have 2 guys working for weeks while others are somewhere else.

I was very surprised when I saw repaving of couple of street intersections in Chicago. Those guys did it like they were on a competition. Really fast and really nice. They were done in couple of days. I couldn't believe it. In my part of the world, the same job would take months, and I'm not even kidding.

An AI PC is a PC suited to be used for AI... Dual 4090 is very suited for small scale AI.

It might be a marketing term by Microsoft, but that is just dumb, and has nothing to do with what Apple says. If this was in relation to Microsofts "AI PC" then Apple should have written "Slower than ANY AI PC." instead, as the minimum requirements for "AI PC by Microsoft" seems to be 45 TOPS, and the M4 is too slow to qualify by the Microsoft definition.

Are you heavily invested in Apple stock or somehting? When a company clearly lies and tries to mislead people, call them out on it, don't defend them. Companies are not your friend. Wtf.
Do you think starlinks mobile priority service is too expensive a price to charge the US government as compared to other satellite providers?
Never mind. This is from 1978 with respect to the MX program (although this is quite late in ICBM deployment history and I think more of a specific problem for the MX- the "Peacekeeper" was supposed to be so accurate that it was reasoned that the Soviets would see it as a first strike weapon against their missile fields, making any potential US deployment necessitate an immediate soviet response. Hence crazy basing ideas like a network of underground trains carrying the missiles.)

I'd love to hear more about your experience and observations of taping at the shows.

Not only did GD (and particularly Jerry Garcia and John Perry Barlow) eschew the 'intellectual property' model of music, their thought-leadership has lived on to become much of what we today consider fundamental internet technology and methodology.

Early decentralized crypto-economics, peer-to-peer file sharing, and the founding of the Electronic Frontier Foundation were all developed by some combination of deadheads and musicians and tapers, particularly on an internet service called The WELL.

The Green Pill Podcast had an entire episode exploring the bluegrass roots of blockchain technology; I was humbled / psyched to be a guest and play several of my songs, as well as some traditionals that GD also played.

The problem is never the suburban home - which are indeed often perfectly nice. The problem is the suburb itself, and the kind of people it attracts - those who think that walkability isn't a concern, and are content with driving to eat at a chain restaurant in a strip mall by the highway. Sounds like a properly crappy life to me. I for one will never buy property where I don't have a choice of bars to walk to.
Does one need to train an AI model on specific hardware, or can a model be trained in one place and then used somewhere else? Seems like Apple could just run their fine tuned model called Siri on each device. Seems to me like asking for training on Apple devices is missing the strategy. Unless of course, it's just for purely scientific $reasons like "why install Doom on the toaster?" vs doing it for a purpose.
> Open-source is only part of it; in terms of privacy, being able to see what all is being sent in/out of my device is is arguably more important than open source.

I agree; unfortunately it feels as if this ship has not only sailed, but the metaphor would have to be expanded to involve the port at well.

Is it even possible, these days, to have a functioning experience with no surprise network requests? I've tried to limit mine via an extensive hosts file list, but that did break stuff even a decade ago, and the latest version of MacOS doesn't seem to fully respect the hosts file (weirdly it partially respects it?)

> A screen on my wall that flashes every JSON that gets sent out of hardware that I own should be my right.

I remember reading a tale about someone, I think it was a court case or an audit, who wanted every IP packet to be printed out on paper. Only backed down when the volume was given in articulated lorries per hour.

>It's not about short videos, it's about the algorithm.

People have short attention span so it was about short videos and yea it's also about discovery algorithm. Vine didn't have a chance at Twitter and now Twitter is going down as well....oh well. Tbh I never used Vine nor TikTok, I just read about them but did Vine have some sort of discovery feature akin to TikTok or YouTube?
I can't agree with your comment. apple has all the incentives to monetize your data, that's the whole value of Google and Meta. And they are already heading into ad-business earning billions last I've checked. Hardware ain't selling as much as before, this isn't going to change for the better in foreseeable future.

The logic is exactly same as ie Meta claims - we will pseudoanonymize your data, so technically your specific privacy is just yours, see nothing changed. But you are in various target groups for ads, plus we know how 'good' those anon efforts are when money are at play and corporations are only there to earn as much money as possible. Rest is PR.
Circa 2000, a lot of big name games actually were released for Mac. Heroes III, StarCraft, and Diablo II, for example, all got Mac releases.
So for hardware accelerated training with something like PyTorch, does anyone have a good comparison between Metal vs Cuda, both in terms of performance and capabilities?
>To be honest, I wish my iPad's chip was slower! I can't do anything other than watch videos and use drawing programs on an iPad, why does it need a big expensive power hungry and environmentally impactful CPU when one 1/10 the speed would do?

A faster SoC can finish the task with better "work done/watt". Thus, it's more environmentally friendly. Unless you're referring to the resources dedicated to advancing computers such as the food engineers eat and the electricity chip fabs require.
The biggest sticking point is not the heating of the coffee at all, it’s the widespread misunderstanding of the what the word cold means in the term “cold brew”. It is incorrectly assumed that brewed relatively cold (room temperature) means served ice cold. Somehow a lot of people can’t understand the verb brew has nothing to do with serving temperature. Does that make sense to you?
This was the first cold-brewing device I ever encountered....as a guest at someone else's house. Didn't know it had a name. Thanks!
No, if they deleted the search box and didn't need to maintain it, there would be no engineer required to maintain it.
It's funny because your comment is meant to mislead and obscure facts.

Apple compared against Intel to encourage their previous customers to upgrade.

There is nothing insidious about this and is in fact standard business practice.

Identifiers are textual also (though shorter). You don't have arbitrary byte strings as identifiers. And yes, if you build RPC specifically, then you have to be ready to the fact that you will have to deal with symbolic identifiers. You can work around that by transcoding them somehow into an efficient format - like protobuf does by forcing the schema to provide translation, or by additional communication as you mentioned, but it's unavoidable that the symbolic identifiers will pop up somewhere and they will be human-readable and thus redundant.

> I am bit puzzled if this saving really makes meaningful difference?!

They make somewhat misleading claim - "37.5% space efficient against UTF-8" - but that doesn't tell us how much gain it is on a typical protocol interaction, It could be 37.5% improvement on 0.1% of all data or on 50% of all data - depending on that, the overall effect could vary drastically. I guess if they are doing it, it makes some sense for them, but it's hard to figure out how much it saves in the big picture.
Ask HN: Are LeetCode style interviews still a thing?
Seems like they are completely pointless with LLMs. I remember joking about this when GPT first came out, but it really is the case now. Are companies still doing these? How can you possibly tell someone "typing it into GPT is not an acceptable solution" when that's literally what we all do every day now?
Sorry, I was paraphrasing the question and not giving every detail that I received. They also stated that there are no gaps, the values increment by one, and start at zero.
is it surprising since they effectively given the finger to data center hardware designs?
how many is "many"? I'm also on an M1 Mac 8 GB RAM and I have 146 chrome tabs open without any issues.
Why are all the comparisons with the M2? Apple did this with the M3 -> M1 as well right?
For everyone else who doesn't understand what this means, he's saying Apple wants you to be able to run models on their devices, just like you've been doing on nvidia cards for a while.

Red rag to a bull: "this is best practice". Really? There is no better way to do something given more context or experience? A better practice will never be discovered or devised?
Because Macs are expensive (in absolute terms) Mac users are a self-selected group who are willing to spend money. Linux users have high standards and are not willing to spend money. For a text editor in particular Linux is going to be the toughest market because it's already pretty saturated.

I was really hoping they would go back to having a headphone jack on the 'a' series of pixels.

I picked up a 7a pixel and fooled myself into thinking it "can't be that bad". But bluetooth is the worst technology to ever grace our airways, dongles fucking suck, and it's been a constant source of annoyance since I got it.

I guess I'll be picking up something other than a pixel when it comes time to upgrade. But there is an ever shrinking number of options that have both a headphone jack and allow bootloader unlocking/locking...
Roughly yes, though I'd caveat it with the specific application of the GPU: simple, 2D, UI elements. We've already built an abstraction that allows us to fluently build up a design, and then burn it down into a collection of rectangles, paths, images, and such. We're not dealing with particle effects, lighting, 3D models, or anything else that game engines need to consider. As such, it's a lot lower cost for us to use something like Vulkan or DX12 directly. And, in fact, that was the backup plan if we didn't find something like Blade that we where happy with.

> In case it is not abundantly clear by now: Apple's AI strategy is to put inference (and longer term even learning) on edge devices. This is completely coherent with their privacy-first strategy (which would be at odds with sending data up to the cloud for processing).

Their primary business goal is to sell hardware. Yes, they’ve diversified into services and being a shopping mall for all, but it is about selling luxury hardware.

The promise of privacy is one way in which they position themselves, but I would not bet the bank on that being true forever.
I had plenty of assigned reading and half-assed it because high school classwork was not hard l remotely hard. Writing an acceptable book report was trivial with only some brief scanning.

I know sarcasm can be an effective way of making a point, but on a global forum where plenty of people are likely to not have a clue what unions do or don't exist in Europe (not to mention most Europeans won't know much if anything about unions in European countries other than their own) it's worth not being sarcastic so that your comment can be understood by more than just the people who already know what you're saying.
I think I may be old-man-yells-at-cloud-ing here, but maybe making products to solve all these use cases for a beginning user is just what an educational tool like raspberry pi shouldn't be doing. Inconveniences like this are what really spurred on my own education in operating systems and networking, making me ask "ok, well, how can I do this myself?"
> The first iteration, known as CAMM, was an in-house project at Dell, with the first DDR5-equipped CAMM modules installed in Dell Precision 7000 series laptops. And thankfully, after doing the initial R&D to make the tech a reality, Dell didn’t gatekeep. Their engineers believed that the project had such a good chance at becoming the next widespread memory standard that instead of keeping it proprietary, they went the other way and opened it up for standardization.
Why Highway 1 is the climate challenge that California can't fix
Molten VK is amazing. When I started working with it, I was expecting a lot of caveats and compromises, but it's shockingly similar to just using Vulkan that you can easily forget that there's a compatibility tool in play.

Probably you can squeeze a bit of optimization out of using Metal directly, but I think it's a more than viable approach to start with Vulkan/MoltenVK as a target, and add a Metal branch to the renderer when capacity allows (although you might never feel the need)
Maybe I put my comment poorly because what I wrote 4 years ago is still in my head. I had had a working hypothesis that xenophilia is antifascistic. (how about comedy? Fascism produced "Lili Marleen", but did it produce any comedians?)

My big Q was: if Pound was such a xenophile (as I had thought) when young, why did he turn to Fascism when older?

TIL that he wasn't ever xenophilic; he only dealt with the other once it had been transmuted into the familiar and he could work it on his own terms. (thus restoring my working hypothesis)

Does that make more sense?

Thanks for your answer!
